Ingredients: 4 medium carrots, sliced; 2 bacon strips, diced; 1/4 cup chopped onion; 4 teaspoons brown sugar; 1/8 teaspoon pepper

BESIDES being colorful, this side dish complements a variety of meats…pork, beef or poultry, certainly a fitting vegetable for harvest meals. The mild flavor of the carrots is enhanced by the bacon and onion combination.

Ingredients

4 medium carrots, sliced
2 bacon strips, diced
1/4 cup chopped onion
4 teaspoons brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Place carrots in a small saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 7-9 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels; drain, reserving 2 teaspoons drippings. Saute onion in the drippings. Stir in brown sugar and pepper until brown sugar is melted.
Drain carrots; toss with onion mixture. Top with bacon.

Easy to make with ingredients which are normally on hand. Good, will use this one again.

This was a good vegetable to add to the table, but was beat out by the stuffing, mashed potatoes, turkey, and gravy. The bacon makes it a hit.

I am trying to get my husband closer to his roots. So I decided to look up German recipes. He ate it and really liked it. This is going to be made often.
